The Virginia governor's debate is tonight!

Anonymous
Trans people are a very very small percentage of the population. If you vote because of that one issue, you are missing the forest for the trees. Your daughter may get pregnant. Even if she wants the baby, her healthcare will be at risk because of MAGA policies against abortion. She may find that insurance doesn't cover the pill, for example. If she wants to go to college, she may find it's harder for women to get accepted.

Because they've decided trans people are their boogeyman. It's a tiny minority so it's the ultimate punching down. The whole transvestigating has been turned on plenty of straight cis women (they even went after Charlie Kirk's wife). It's completely nuts.

DH and I mailed our absentee ballot this morning. It felt amazing voting for Sears.

We were never on the fence but that debate last night is one for the record books.

God help us if spankaburger wins.

The trans movement has grown and it is affecting thousands of biological women. If even one woman loses a scholarship or medal or is forced to share a locker room with a bio male, it is one too many.

The only thing that's grown is people harassing cis women for not looking feminine enough.

The anti trans people aren't pro women. They've repeatedly harassed little girls and teens for having short hair.

It was quite a shock to see her on the stage, ignoring almost all the questions asked of her and talking in circles. She couldn't be more unclear on her positions. It almost seemed like a game to her. I wasn't expecting much honestly but this was way worse then I was expecting. The constant word salad and refusing to say violence and murder is wrong is just frankly unbelievable to me. I can't and won't vote for her. IF you can't tell me murder is wrong and violence is wrong you don't get my vote. She really pissed me off. This world is a sad state of affairs when we all can't agree murder is wrong in any situation. I can't imagine this woman being the first female governor of Virginia. What a total freaking shame.

God is on Abby’s side. We don’t need that crazy gun-toting black woman.

Everyone who is submitting a vote in this election should be required to watch the debate last night. It was incredibly eye opening. Spanberger behavior was simply atrocious. She is incredibly immature. Sears was direct and passionate. Spanberger was dead inside and out--refusing to directly answer the questions asked, refusing to make eye contact and address Sears. She looked like a weak pathetic child.

If any of you are on the fence about your vote I *beg* of you to watch the debate prior to voting.

Didn't Spanbarger vote with the Dems to shut the government down?
I'm going to guess, going by past elections, she should win in Northern Virginia but lose down state
But the longer the shutdown goes on and the feds miss a couple of paychecks, they might well hold it against her

The Democrats chose to crap on disabled veterans in their push to eliminate VMSDEP. That was their political choice - so do not say this is not about veterans. Democrats in Virginia choose higher education for illegals over higher education for spouses and children of disabled veterans.


Sigh. No, it doesn’t. We don’t even have aliens on this planet, and no humans are “illegal.”


If semantics is your only defense, you need to stop.


It isn’t “semantics,” you racist piece of shit. It’s pushing back on weaponized language.

Were you born stupid or dropped on your head as a baby? Why do you hate Virginia and America so much?

Seriously. It’s amazing how much Republicans are panicking. Sears is such a terrible candidate.

I watched it and just went and voted for Winsome.
A lot of the people coming out of the Fairfax Govt. Center looked like Dems though -- you know -- wimpy men and beefy shouldered older white women with glasses etc. We'll see

The divorce from reality is just insane. Calling the person who didn't repeatedly interrupt immature?

You guys are just nuts. Did your parents not teach you to not scream over other people?
